WHEEL SIZES, OFFSETS

[Waynus]

I believe I have a good understanding of the concepts of wheel sizes/PCD/Offset but wonder if there is a chart or something that will give a guide to what wheels will fit on what vehicle.

For example, I have a 2000 Camry V6 which is a 15" x 6" PCD 5x114.3 P45 offset - standard tyres 205/65 R15.

If I was to buy used alloys from say a Mazda 6 or AU Falcon, how could I find out what the PCD & Offsets are for those vehicles wheels? It would have to be assumed that either the wheels are manufacturer supplied (standard) or if aftermarket, then the correct wheels have been fitted.

I know that CSA has a fitment guide for it's wheels giving all this detail but it refers to "CSA Offset" - could it be assumed that this is also the manufacturer's offset?

PCD - ring up Mazda/Ford to find out.

Offset - hard to find out but some wheels made by reputable manufacturers have stickers with all these details stuck onto the inside of the wheel.

Falcon has been 5x114.3 for donkeys years, although up until I think the AU they have a very FWD-unfriendly offset of +20 or so, newer models are more around the +40 FWD-style offset (I say AROUND, because I don't know specific numbers, so don't quote me)
